Student Success Stories

Congratulations to Susan Cafaro who is the Office Manager for Dr. Tully and Dr. Napierala, Ph.D.. Susan recently completed the 301 Physician Coding Course.

What made you decide to take a course?

My friend, Gina Nuske, told me about the course and I wanted to further my career by taking the course.

Why did you pick CRN Institute?

I liked that you could take work at your own pace throughout the course.

Is there anything you would say to someone thinking about taking a course?

I feel this course was very informative and would suggest anyone interested in coding, take this course.

Do you currently have any coding/medical credentials?

No coding credentials yet. I have been in the medical field for the past 15 years and doing some coding in my jobs.

Are you planning on sitting for a Board exam?

Susan is planning on sitting for the CPC exam April 22nd in Canton , Ohio at Mercy Hospital. We look forward to reporting her success.
